What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the feasibility of estimating the prevalence of stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the Gard department of France using data from laboratory databases. It will compare laboratory data with the records of patients who have been seen by nephrologists to determine if the demand for care aligns with nephrology care delivery guidelines set by the French High Authority of Health. The study focuses on understanding the management of advanced CKD in the region.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the understanding and management of advanced chronic kidney disease in the Gard region, leading to better patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational and may not have direct precedents, similar studies have successfully utilized laboratory data to estimate disease prevalence in other regions.
